Yankees MILB 9/19: Ben Rice Homers Again

News: I have nothing to offer. Scranton (86-60) (Defeated Buffalo, 4-1. I have been mistaken lately. Like most sane people, I thought divisions mattered in the International League, but they don’t. It’s first-half champion vs. second-half champion in the entire league, even though you don’t get to play everyone. Weird. Divisions don’t matter. Scranton is […]

Yankees MILB 9/17: Spencer Jones Homers, Collects 3 Hits

News: The Yankees recently released LHP Victor Gonzalez, who was toiling in Triple-A after mediocre results in MLB earlier this season. Seen as a potential Wandy Peralta replacement, Gonzalez was never able to get into a consistent groove. The trade with the Dodgers comes down to how the two prospects (Trey Sweeney (now with Detroit) and Jorbit Vivas) perform. Scranton […]

Yankees MILB 9/7: Spencer Jones Doubles, Homers

News: RHP Nick Burdi, who showed promise early in the year, was designated for assignment. Burdi’s velocity was down during his rehab stint and his history of injuries and poor control didn’t help him. If Burdi clears waivers, he has the right to refuse an outright assignment and elect free agency. Scranton (78-56) (Mauled Syracuse, […]

Yankees MILB 8/29: Spencer Jones Continues to Roll

News: Nothing fit for print. Scranton (73-53) (Their game against Rochester was postponed. The lineup was released before the postponement and is below) 2B Caleb Durbin: 0-for-0 Is his size a detriment? Maybe, but we shouldn’t downgrade him on that alone.
